Thank you, Madam Chair. Currently there is, I believe it was back in 2009ish, an extra position was actually created in Fort McPherson to cover Tsiigehtchic. That position is intended to go into Tsiigehtchic on a regular basis. I understand that we had a community policing plan in place with that community and it hasn’t worked out exactly as the community and the RCMP have planned. I have talked to the commanding officer. The commanding officer is going to Tsiigehtchic on April 9th to meet with the
community leadership to discuss the community policing plan that was in place and try to find some ways to get the coverage that the community members are expecting based on the fact that we have that position in Fort McPherson to provide services to Tsiigehtchic.
As far as a stand-alone detachment and a stand-alone officer in that community, we can’t have one-member detachments in communities. There are protocols in place that actually limit that from happening. But we would like to work on some creative solutions to ensure that we have somebody in there as often as we can, not just to arrest people but to provide community education, youth education, work with community members on different types of programming. We would like to work with them to make that happen.
